Few SMBs Could Recover From

a Major IT Failure Within an Hour

Companies Need More Than a Backup

Every business faces network failure and downtime at one point or another. The more downtime a company experiences, the more money and time lost, and the more damage done to the business’ reputation. A study by DTI/PwC showed that 7 out of 10 small firms that experience a major data loss go out of business within a year.Businesses today need to think about data backup and disaster recovery solutions as part of a larger business continuity plan that carries out the three core functions of business continuity: maintaining service, maintaining consistency, and recoverability.Boston Iron is providing the benefit of business continuity solutions through our integration partners. These systems ensure that when servers go down, data, systems and applications stay up. Business continuity technology can ensure that businesses avoid the loss associated with downtime, but businesses must have the right solution in place before a network failure occurs in order to avoid that loss.



Maintaining Service

A good business continuity solution must allow a business to continue to offer all of the everyday services it usually provides to its customers.



Maintaining Consistency

All of a business’ solutions and services must remain consistent, especially when it comes to timeliness in delivering services to clients.



Recoverability

A business must be able to recover data and restore a network in a timely manner.

Our Enterprise Disaster Recovery systems provide full coverage for Apple MacIntosh computers running OS X 10.5 or newer. It provides a local backup target for Apple’s Time Machine backup utility, pushes archives off-site to one or more data centers and allows local and remote Disaster Recovery spin-ups of any of the Macs during a failure.

Why use Time Machine? It provides us a foundation by creating incremental backups of files that can be restored at a later date. It allows your user community to restore the whole system or specific files from the Recovery HD or the OS X Install DVD. It further works within iWork, iLife, and several other compatible programs, making it possible to restore individual objects (e.g. photos, contacts, calendar events) without leaving the application.
